Walk past the basketball court.
Today, not a single basketball hit Chu Chu on the head again.
Lu Yibei found it quite boring.
He glanced at the little boy beside him who was licking the ice cream froth from the stick, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"I heard your ex-boyfriend came to visit you during winter break?"
Chu Chu was startled, her little face tense, filled with inexplicable fear.
She wanted to ask how you knew.
But then she thought, is that even a question? The aloof campus belle in her dorm is incredibly docile in front of this senior, Mr. Lu…
"Traitor!" Chu Chu shouted angrily.
But Lu Yibei ignored him and continued, "What do you want?"
Chu Chu snorted, puffed out her small chest, and adopted an arrogant expression:
"What else can I do? I'll get back together with you. Look at my charm."
Lu glanced sideways to the north.
Chu Chu knew he wasn't willing to believe her, so she snorted and continued scooping ice cream by herself.
“Since you can’t find a partner, why not give someone else a chance?” Lu Yibei said.
Chu Chu looked disdainful: "Senior Lu, your cultural literacy is low. Haven't you heard of the saying 'A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed'?"
Lu Yibei nodded knowingly, and asked sincerely:
"You know quite a bit."
"That's right."
"You're very determined."
Chu Chu held a small wooden stick in his mouth, his left hand clenched into a fist:
"You must shut down your love for the past in order to live a more fulfilling life!"
"...Well said!"
Lu Yibei straightened his back and applauded Chu Laomei, then asked seriously, "Then why did you ask my chubby son those philosophical questions about life and whether to turn back?"
Chu Chu's clenched left fist trembled slightly, and her eyebrow twitched a little...
Not only did sweat pour down his face, but the wooden stick he was biting also slipped and fell into the ice cream container.
—Damn it!
—She knew there was a traitor! But she had no idea there were two!
Chu Chu:…
"I was just... just asking..." she said, sounding a little guilty.
Lu Yibei casually hummed in agreement: "I was just asking... If you can't come up with a suitable excuse, you don't need to answer."
Chu Chu wanted to say "Oh," but after thinking about it carefully, she realized it wasn't right:
"What 'making excuses'—that's because I didn't want to answer!!"
"Then let me ask you a question that doesn't require excuses," Lu Yibei said. "Why did you and Xiaoning break up?"
This Chu Chu answered truthfully, not because she was obedient, but because she had said it before:
"Long distance".
"Who pursued whom back then?"
"Of course he pursued me. Do I look like the kind of person who would chase after someone else?"
Chu Chu pouted, then looked at Senior Lu with disgust: "Senior Lu, do you know how incredibly gossipy you are? You're like an auntie at the market..."
Lu Yibei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The two walked for a while longer.
As they approached the girls' dormitory, Lu Yibei spoke again:
"Hey Chu, you know what? When we were traveling in Taizhou, Xiao Ma and my son—"
Chu Chu immediately perked up:
"What what?"
Lu Yibei smiled tactfully:
"You're such a gossip now, you know? Just like the aunties at the market—"
Chu Chu frowned immediately, and it looked like he was about to activate the sonic formula.
Lu Yibei quickly interrupted, saying calmly:
"Neither your chubby senior nor your senior Lu can give you the answer to your question."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ice cream in Chu Chu's hand:
"It's like the ice cream in your hand. You say you want vanilla and you also want matcha. After buying vanilla, you'll probably still crave matcha, but even after buying matcha, you'll still miss vanilla—we always say that people shouldn't make choices they'll regret. But the premise of 'not making regrettable choices' is actually 'no matter what choice you make, you'll regret it in the end.' Life has countless crossroads and branches, and no matter which way you go, you'll always have concerns—"
"Whether you look ahead or behind—just like vanilla or matcha ice cream, you'll always choose one to eat."
“You can stay where you are and not choose anything, and no one will criticize you, but then you can only watch me eat ice cream.”
"It's just your choice. All you have to do is accept your choice—"
Chu Chu was stunned.
She has mostly heard warnings or encouragement such as "Don't make choices you'll regret."
This was the first time someone had ever told her something so realistic: "No matter what you do, you'll regret it."
She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
But he didn't know what to say, and for a moment he was speechless and at a loss for words.
As they spoke, the two had already reached the entrance of the girls' dormitory.
Lu Yibei glanced at his phone; the female warrior said she was about to come downstairs.
Just looking at the words, he couldn't help but smile, and his gaze towards little Chu Chu became gentler.
"Aren't you going in? Do you really want to be a third wheel?"
“Oh.” Chu Chu nodded.
She was carrying a plastic bag for bringing ice cream to other people.
"If you run into Ji Qingqian, you don't need to give her any; her share is with me," Lu Yibei reminded him.
"Understood," Chu Chu replied.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Lu Yibei said to Chu Chu, who had already stepped into the girls' dormitory, "Sometimes good things can still happen, even with the people or things you think are the worst."
